Confidence in our community is crucial – among our citizens, member states and international partners – particularly at this juncture where we are seeking to diversify our partnership and development support.
The project required specialised equipment – piling equipment that had to drive piles a hundred and odd feet into the ground to make sure that the foundation of the bridge is stable.
